Soft nanoimprint lithography on SiO2 sol-gel to elaborate sensitive substrates for SERS detection
Résumé
This paper presents a new alternative fabrication of biochemical sensor based on surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) by soft nanoimprint lithography (S-NIL) on SiO2 sol-gel. Stabilization of the sol-gel film is obtained by annealing which simplifies the manufacturing of these biosensors and is compatible with mass production at low cost. This detector relies on a specific pattern of gold nanodisks on a thin gold film to obtain a better sensitivity of molecules’ detection. Characterizations of SERS devices were performed on a confocal Raman microspectrophotometer after a chemical functionalization. We report a lateral collapse effect on poly(diméthylsiloxane) (PDMS) stamp for specific nanostructure dimensions. This unintentional effect is used to evaluate S-NIL resolution in SiO2 sol-gel.
